Despite being more of a light-hearted training episode than the first 2 emotional and dramatic episodes, I still fucking loved it. Actually, I really love it. Eren is able to talk about the Colossal and Armored titan so easily but when he talks about regular titans he's reminded about the horrific way that his mother died. Why is Mikasa so beautiful?

It was funny how Mikasa kept talking when Eren had left and Sasha was sitting beside her instead. xD Speaking of Sasha, it seems like she's now known as the potato girl haha! She's a energetic goofy character but seems pretty cool already.

The second half of the episode was very touching. Reiner Braun is one awesome dude. He knows what Eren has been through and even believes in Eren's determination. The entire time Eren was working with a rusty belt and was actually able to balance properly for a few seconds. I got so hyped when Eren passed and everyone was surprised. The OST is such a standout as well! My god Hiroyuki Sawano, you're amazing. The insert song towards the end of the episode was perfect.

Well, Eren was less annoying than in the previous episodes(especially his voice is rather annoying).

Yeah, why was "Kyojin" translated as Eotin... Or whatever the fuck it was?


Why did you watch commie sub? Change it to GG.
Anyway, good episode, beside they mixed up a few things(including the part when Mikasa has to grab Eren on her hand). And the comedy .. I loled at potato girl, its good to have some episode that relieve the stress in such a dark plot like this one.

Waiting for the next episode, theres gonna be epic battle


I have no idea what sub groups are there? I watched whatever was on Gogoanime

Then its pretty much your own fault, if you want good subs you need to check what sub group is subbed it before you watch it..

But really, this shouldn't be the place to whine about subs from whatever group happens to be making some weird choices.

Did you watch the whole episode? How it showed that it was really because of faulty gear not because of his own lack of training or skill.

Another impressive episode. This anime surpassed my expectations already. Don't really like that lipstick-y look of Mikasa's lips, but she also reminds me of Rukia :D Also, what's with all the Russian names? Sasha, Grisha.. Anyway, that rope flying system or whatever seems awesome!

Oh my sides when Sasha bit into that potato in formation and the instructor and the others' reaction to it. Hilarious. Part of me won't be very surprised to see her die pretty soon, though.

Wasn't really expecting much comedy in this series, then again it's hard to keep a series as intense as the first two episodes were. I still enjoyed it, though. And I'm glad it was just Eren having a faulty belt instead of him being incompetent or something.

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

Are people seriously saying that Mikasa has lipstick? Do you just conveniently forget that human lips have a natural red or pink hue on account of the more visible blood vessels and capillaries that result from the lack of melanin producing cells in the lips?

Like around chapter 15 I believe, and it was a flashback in the manga, they just moved it so it's more chronological in the anime.

Ill probably stop read this anime discussions until the final episode because i'll facepalm myself too much if ill continue reading the discussions

There's more better discussion i can read from anime's in this season than this

It felt like comic strips in the part between mikasa and sasha

Episode 3 is based on (Volume 4) chapter 15 AND chapter 17.

From the preview, Episode 4 looks like it will about chapter 16, (the end of) chapter 2 and (some of) chapter 3.

So far, the anime is doing more than an OK job of adapting the manga. Of course, I think the adaptation can be better, but it is also (still very) far from the (bad) level wherein I start cursing the anime studio.

Unfortunately, I can no longer say that people should just stick with the anime as episode 3 didn't include all the character developing moments in chapter 15 AND 17.

Well, they did Anohana, Oofuri and currently doing Uchuu Kyoudai. But most of their shows are mediocre or simply... bad.

My gosh, you cannot believe how long it took me to get through this episode! But it was a good episode.

This time we face some down time as we meet our supporting cast. I have yet to remember everyone's name, and right now I only know then by face, but I liked the break from the action and suffering.

This time we get some comic relief with the boot camp training of Eren, Mikasa's, and Armin. We get to meet some interesting characters throughout. My esteem for Eren has greatly risen and he is beginning to mature even more. He's pushing to become a soldier and won't let anything stop him. I admire his fortitude and his determination. I also love Mikasa's loyalty to him and her ability to understand him. I'll have to wait and see, but we might have here such a close sibling relationship that it might rival that of Edward and Alphonse Elric's.

And we hear again of the elusive Dr. Jaeger. Whatever happened to him?

Well, while this show is wonderful and the scenery beautiful, I can't help feeling that it's being to slow down for me. It is struggling to hold my attention a bit. (It took me more then 3 HOURS to finish this episode!!) And yet I'll definitely stick with it.

I give this episode a 7.5/10.
